4 Responses to “Sullivan Act upheld”

>The three-judge panel of the court’s Second Circuit, noting that “New Yorkís efforts in regulating the possession and use of firearms predate the Constitution” and continued with the 1911 Sullivan Law, said none of the plaintiffs demonstrated a qualifying need for self-protection beyond that of any other member of the public.

Well damn, if some old archaic law predated the Supreme Law of the Land, I guess it has precedence, right?

(does any one have a link to something other than $#!tty ass scribd.com?)

Tell me that after this case gets to SCOTUS with one of the Heller Five being replaced by Obama with ANOTHER hard-core progressive gunbanner, and SCOTUS rules that Sullivan-type bans don’t infringe on the right to keep and bear arms… so Sullivan type laws become STANDARD in any state or city where the gun banners can pull a hair thin majority in the legislature on the day of the vote.

Which is why SAF was talking about reining in ALL future court battles once Obama got re-elected. Better a bad Second Circuit precedent than a disasterous national one.
